Ask Moynihan Anything: Why Do You Call Chomsky A Junk Historian?

Read Michael’s writing for the Beast here. Above he compares Chomsky’s revisionist history to Oliver Stone’s work, which he critiqued here:

Stone and [Peter] Kuznick helpfully explain that the “objective [of] this project” is to provoke a “much-needed conversation about the direction our country needs to go in to counter a century-plus, and we believe disastrous, course of empire, war, and domination. That is our objective in this project, which one would never know from reading Moynihan’s review.” What I said in my review, though, is that this book is activism masquerading as history. And I thank the authors for strengthening my point.
